    Problem Summary An unanchored regular expression in proc_end() may match unintended process identifiers.
    Problem Text An unanchored regular expression is used in proc_end() to test whether a specific process
    identifier is found in the output of ps. This may result in a partial match of an unintended
    process identifier, e.g. "23" matches "1234", resulting in a false failure.

    ps -o pid | grep -q $proc_id

    Should instead use the expression "^$proc_id\$".
